Christmas Time

This holiday season was so fun and filled with lots of food. My mother in law informed us last night that in two weeks she went through almost 11 pounds of butter!! I bet I ate at least a pound or more than that. Christmas Eve we spent with Robby family and it was a lot of fun. We played Bingo and won prizes and then opened our Christmas PJ's. Robby sister Angela and her family were in town and so we decided to stay the night at Robby moms house on Christmas Eve. It was so fun to see Angela and Dan's kids open their gifts and it makes me excited for when little Wes knows what it is about. Christmas day we spent with my family and it was a nice day. Just ate and relaxed!! Love it! Overall it was a great holiday season and school starts tomorrow already :(! Back to reality.

Merry Christmas to US!

Today was a hard day! Robby woke up went to work and I started off my day being a mommy and studying for a final I had to take today. Robby came home early so I could go to SLC and take my test. Everything seemed great but when I got home my husband looked at me with a very serious face and said "I have some bad news." I looked at him and and for a second I thought someone had died or was hurt. He then said "I got layed off". I instantly started to cry so many emotions ran through my mine and we didnt see this coming at all. Those of you that don't know my husband, he never never cries, ever! He hardly ever shows any emotion and he started to cry and we just hugged eachother and cried together. It was a HUGE shock. Right before the baby Wes was born Robby got a HUGE raise and a company I-phone so who would have thought this would come three months later?? I know everything will be okay and that is why we have been building a savings, for times like these right? I am just sad because I know I will have to go back to work now. With the pay Robby was making I was able to stay home and be with my baby but there is no way he will make was he was making, it was such a blessing that we did get that pay for the months that he worked. I am blessed that when I do go back to work my mother in law is just up the road to help us out. This is mine and my husbands first real trial as a family. Ever since we have been married we have never stressed about money and have always been able to go and do whatever we want. This is such a humbling experience for sure and this is the first time I have personally been affected by the economy and it sucks. I know that we are blessed and we have so much friends and family support and we will be okay. I know our heavenly father will watch over us and keep a roof over our heads. But Merry Christmas to us! haha!

Blessing Day

Great Grandpa and Grandma Welling, Grandpa Welling, Robby and baby! The fun 4 generation picture!

Today was such a wonderful day! My sweet little Wes got blessed by his dad. Robby did such a great job and I cried, I am such a baby. We had so many family and friends come support Wes on this special day it was great. Thanks to my in-laws for letting us have the luncheon at their house there was no way our place could have accomodated 70 people. The blessing outfit he wore was the outfit that Robby wore when he got blessed almost 24 years ago. The little tux looked so cute on him. Thanks for everyones love and support we couldn't have done it without you!!

His blessing outfit that his daddy wore too.

The end of the day...he had had enough!

All Smiles

I love being a mom to this baby. He is such a happy baby and just smiles all the time and I love it. I get to wake up to these smiles everyday and it is such a joy. I was watching 16 and Pregnant the other day on MTV and this teen mom was explaing what being a mother was like to her friend and she related it to being in PRISON!! What!! I love being a mother and don't know how anyone could ever think it would be like prison. Being a mother is a wonderful blessing and I am so happy to have a HAPPY healthy baby boy!! Oh and he is kinda laughing, almost there!!

He loves his bath time!!

Halloween Fun

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We were able to hitch a ride with Robbys parents to visit his brother 12 hours north! The little guy did so good! Didn't really fuss too much and slept the entire way. When he was awake he just smiled at me and Robby. For the most part he is such a happy baby I love it. I love how he is starting to smile and he is almost laughing! Can't wait for that. Little Wes was a chicken, he really didn't enjoy his costume too much so he basically was just in it for pictures. I was a pig and Robby was a good sport and was a cow. Overall it was fun and always good to get home after a long drive.

One of the cutest chickens I have ever seen!

Introducing Weston Keith Welling

1 Month Old and getting some cheeks!

2 weeks old

2 weeks old

- Just a couple hours old!!

It has been awhile since I have posted anything for two reasons. 1- I have been super busy, I am taking three classes right now and being a new mom I am constantly doing something and 2- I don't even know if anyone reads my blog so why go to all the work to post stuff. My good friend Janee and Grandma have asked me if I have updated my blog latelty and now I can tell them I have!!

Our little Weston Keith Welling came into the world on September 7th 2010 at 7:01 p.m.! Weighing 8 lbs and 1 ounce and 21 inches long! It was a huge surprise to both me and Robby because my Doctor kept telling me my baby was measuring soooooooo small and that is why he pushed my due date back an entire week and half about! RAGE! Me and Robby couldn't be more thrilled with this little guy, he is a very calm baby and does not cry unless he is hungry or gassy

:(We did find out he was allergic to milk and protein so he has to be on this SUPER expensive formula! It ONLY comes in a 16oz can and costs about 26 dollars a can! We hope he will grow out of the protein allergy!! I stopped breast feeding when this all happened. If I were to continue breast feeding I could only eat really really lean mean and vegetables! With all of the stress with school and being a new mom I felt too overwhelmed to always watch every little thing I ate so...Hopefully better luck with the next child!

Names...

I never thought that naming a child would be so hard. Growing up there were always names I loved and knew those would be the names I would choose but little did I forget that my husband has to agree as well. We agreed on the name Weston early on and that is what people call this little guy but I will randomly shoot out names to Robby to see if he likes them such as Boston or Porter, or Caleb and he usally says NO...but the other day I asked if he like Kaden and he said YES! So now that might be the name of our little guy. I just can't decided. I never thought how hard it would be to just pick a name! Hopefully when I see this little guy I will just decide what he looks like more a Weston or a Kaden!
